Volume LVI Sen. Adds PE Vote The Community Senate voted Wednesday to hold a student referendum on student attitudes on required Physical Education. The referendum will be held March 3, along with the campus elections. According to Senate President Doug Scott, the purpose of the referendum is not to abolish the P.E. department. Rather, he stated, the Senate is trying to help concerned faculty committees discover student attitudes toward the present program. In other actions, the Senate appointed Chuck Gillis and Gary Kirby to the Student Affairs Committee. They will replace Kennette Rogers and Dave Chesnut, who have resigned. Tori Potts was appointed to the Dana Scholarship Committee. Clare Glore, Neil Rabin, and Rich DeKoyer were appointed to the selection board for the campus Judicial Board. The selection board, composed of faculty and students will elect the campus judicial board for the next school year. President Scott also announced that the last act of the present administration will be the approval of a budget for the 1972-73 year. The new officers and Senators will be installed immediately after the final budget is approved. All student organizations who wish to apply for funds from the Student Activities Fee must submit a proposed budget to Treasurer Rosemary Scott no later than Tuesday, February 29. Paul Bryant reminded the Senate that the North Carolina State Student Legislature is attempting to become an effective student lobby. Guilford needs three representatives and two observers to attend the conference. Interested students should see Paul Bryant or Valerie Johnson.

The Quiffortocm , •■; 3 Jacques D 'Amboise IR Hosts Dinner Foods from more than 15 countries will be served at an International Dinner to be sponsored by foreign college students at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 11, in the Grill Room at Guilford College. In addition to the "serve yourself, try some of everything, you'll like it" dinner there will be a style show featuring foreign students in their native dress, a slide show on various countries, and an exhibition of unusual items with guides to explain their uses in their native lands. "All of these things for only one dollar fifty," said O'Chieng Mbeo, the smiling Kenyan who is coordinator for the sponsoring Guilford College International Relations Club. "Many ingredients are being ordered from New York because they are unavailable in Greensboro," he explained. Mbeo declined to tell what his special dish would be, but he promised, "It will be finger licking good and not Kentucky fried chicken." "We hope that the people will make reservations as quickly as possible so that we will know approximately how much food to prepare," he said. "We hope, also, that this will be a family night for many, because the children will enjoy the food, seeing the many colorful outfits from many parts of the world, seeing the slides and examining the exhibition of items from our lands." Mbeo said that reservations will be restricted to around 150 persons. Students are to be invited from A&T University and Bennett College as well as from UNC-Greensboro, where Karen Goforth, president of International House, is cooperating with the Guilford club in putting on the first dinner given by foreign students for the Greensboro community. Friday, February 25, 1972 Greensboro, N.C "We have been guests of them so many times; now we want to be host to them," said Mbeo, whose name in his Kenyan language tells that lie was born at noon on a bright, sunny day. Mbeo can be reached at 294-0545. Reservations also may be made by calling the International Relations Club at 299-0037, Miss Goforth at 379-5042, or Bennet Udoto at 292-4315. Revelers Play "Pigs" The Guilford College Revelers' spring production will be "Live Like Pigs," a serious comedy by the contemporary British playwright John Arden. Performances will be Friday and Saturday, March 17 and 18, in Dana Auditorium. Dr. Donald Deagon, head of the drama department, is directing the play. David Glenn is both set designer and stage manager as well as an actor in the show. The action in the 14-character play centers around two unalike families and a band of gypsies. The Sawney family consists of Sailor Sawney, played by Michael Messenheimer; Rachel, Nan Mengebier; Rose, Allison Kassig; Col. Theodore Wailes; and Sally, Maryann Barone. The Jackson family includes Mr. Jackson, portrayed by David Glenn; Mrs. Jackson, Pam Henry; and Doreen, Jane Fairchild.

Curtain time for the show, to be done in the proscenium style is 8 p.m. Senate, Union Elections Mar. 1 Three slates of candidates for Community Senate Executive Council will compete in the campus-wide elections scheduled for Wednesday, March 1. Balloting is also scheduled for College Union President and Board of Governors. D'Amboise Delights by Alien Berger The dance came to Guilford Tuesday night. The dance came, and it was a pleasure. Our treat was in the forms of Jacques D'Amboise and three lovely ballerinas. They didn't come to perform as much as to demonstrate and exhibit, and that was a delight. Mr. D'Amboise, (often with) the ballerinas, danced a bit; then he gave a sort of explication of the movements. The verbal part of the performance consisted of a basic course in dance appreciation, and a look behind the scenes into the seamy side of the ballet. At one point he challenged a member of the audience to come up on stage and attempt to hoist one of the lissome 110 pound ballerinas. He asked again, looking directly at this reporter, who was sitting in the first row, and who licked his greedy lips but gritted his teeth and passed up the opportunity in the name of good taste. After the intermission, in order to satisfy lovers of the dance, the entire company performed a ballet set to the music of Jerome Kern. This was certainly the artistic high point of the evening. Not wanting to pester the man, 1 did not join the thronging mob of autograph seekers, well wishers, and groupies, nor press to the forefront to take part in the interview conducted for the city papers. The troupe had worked hard enough. gmM * |H9| Gubenatorial Candidate Pat Taylor addresses Greensboro Students at Bam Dinner Theatre.
